When it came to Azerite and world security, Li De didn't dare to entrust others with the matter. After much hesitation, he decided to lead the team himself.
However, this decision encountered huge resistance within the alliance, led by Boris, the representative of Terenas. He believed that Li De, as a leader and commander-in-chief, could not participate in such a dangerous action.
"Commissioner, regarding the power of Azerite, I think the Archdruid of Staghelm has made it very clear. If the goblins really detonate it, I will not be spared even if I stay in the headquarters."
When Li De said this, Lu Gui held his chin and gave Li De a footnote very seriously.
"We still don't know the scale of the Azerite discovered in Kezan, and it's also unknown what impact it will have on the world once it is detonated, but it is conservatively estimated that the entire Kezan will be wiped off the map."
Before setting off to Kezan, Staghelm had no idea that things would evolve to this point. Currently, Staghelm is mobilizing druids from the Cenarion Circle. He plans to use a batch of seeds to drain Azerite energy from the ground.
It is still unknown how effective this method will be, but he and Li De are indeed working hard in their respective fields, but one method is to solve Azerite, and the other method is to solve the problem of controlling Azerite.
people.
…
Li De left a complete command system in the army. Even if he is not in Kel'Thuzad and Garin, he can still lead the army to operate normally.
But what Li Dewan didn't expect was that after he led the team to leave, people who were not in the military system started to engage in secret activities.
That night Boris left his room to visit someone.
Daelin's fleet was divided into three forces, and each was given to three commanders. The first one was Daelin's son Derek, and the other two were named Cyrus and Farrivel.
This Farrevel is one of the few non-Kul Tirans among the Kul Tiras navy.
Unlike most naval officers, Farrewell was not trained by Daelin. He was a noble from Lordaeron. Because his family's fiefdom was close to the sea, he loved sailing since he was a child, so when he became an adult, he used his family's wealth to
A sizable navy was established.
In order to see the wider sea, he took his fleet to Kul Tiras and became a special being under the command of Daelin.
In most cases, Farrewell will resolutely carry out Dailin's orders, but he also has a high degree of autonomy. At this time, Boris visited late at night, and it was precisely because of his independence that he took a fancy to it.
Boarding Farrewell's ship, Boris saw sailors gathering in groups to drink and gamble.
Farrevel's troops are definitely at the top of the Kul Tiras battle order, but his troops' military discipline is also notoriously lax.
If it is said that his troops are more like pirates than navy, he has recruited a bunch of rebellious and lawless people on the ship. As long as he fights bravely, Farrelly doesn't care about his character at all. At the same time, in his heart, for
General Dai Lin emphasized that military discipline still has a lot of disdain, but it has not been shown to the outside world.
…
"Commissioner Borist? What's the reason you came to my ship?"
Farrewell was quite surprised to see this big shot of the alliance stabbing a barbecue with a knife.
"Admiral Farrewell, I'm so excited tonight. I wonder if I would be welcome to join you and taste your sailor delicacies."
Boris had a friendly smile on his face, and Farrewell was very polite to him, but after Boris sat down, he spoke with a bit of grumbling.
"What's so exciting? It's just a boring time. I really don't understand what Shangfeng is thinking. The boys under my command are just waiting for Kezan's carnival, but now we have to let us
Everyone stays on the boat!
If I didn't still have some prestige, the boys would have started a riot a long time ago. They all heard that we would eventually capture Kezan, so they worked so hard in the previous naval battle!
Now there is no indication from the summit, isn’t it obvious that we want to chill the hearts of these good young men?!”
Farrewell's words immediately caused a group of sailors around to yell. Boris knew that these guys had long been planning to go to Kezan Island to rob. You must know that this is one of the richest places in Azeroth. This group of sea rogues
How could you not be moved?
After complaining for a while with his men, Farrewell also knew how to hold back his words. He just wanted to listen to Boris' ears and give suggestions to the superiors, but he didn't dare to really offend Dai Lin and Li De.
"Of course, I also know the reason for going up to the peak. Didn't the goblins control some Azerite? We have all seen that thing on the battlefield before, and its power is indeed terrifying."
It’s just that Farrell didn’t expect that after he finished saying this, Boris put his chest in his chest and put his chin in his mouth, revealing an incomprehensible smile.
"Admiral Farrewell, tonight we are just chatting among friends. I want to ask you, do you really believe that Azerite is so powerful?"
Farrewell was confused by what Boris said and didn't understand what his purpose was.
"This war is ultimately a war between the Alliance and the goblins, but so far, the most authoritative voice regarding Azerite comes from those long-eared, purple-skinned night elves."
This sentence is correct for Farrewell's temper. He is a staunch racist. All other races except the human race are defined as monsters in his heart.
It is precisely because of this that he never considers character or origin when recruiting crew members, but he is very stuck in terms of race. None of the sailors under his command are from races other than the human race.
Farrewell is now sure that Boris did not come here accidentally tonight. His visit has a strong purpose. However, you have to be careful when chatting with such a big man. You might as well listen to what he has to say first.
What.
"The night elves should not have intervened in this alliance war. However, our deputy commander Li De still respects those arrogant guys. He is completely asking the alliance to pay for his sexual fetishes!"
Farrivel really didn't expect that the dignified Lordaeron Finance Minister and the representative of His Majesty Terenas would speak vulgarly. Judging from the reaction of his subordinates, this joke was a success.
But then Farrewell realized that this was Boris's way of getting closer to rough guys like them. Farrewell's heart trembled when he thought about this, and he unscrupulously made fun of the leader of the alliance. What was Boris going to do?
What fatal thing could you say to him?
"Even if those night elves are really authoritative, their leader himself has said that the scale of Azerite underground on Kezan Island may not be too large. Even if it is detonated, it will only harm Kezan Island, and the furthest impact will be on Kezan Island.
Surrounding waters, Admiral Farrewell, do you understand what I mean?"
Farrewell's eyes were a little cloudy, and he didn't quite understand what Boris meant.
"The Alliance has always been only on the Eastern Kingdom Continent. Even if Azerite here explodes, it will not affect us on the other continent.
Now there is no need to delay this war any longer. The Alliance is waiting for us to bring back shiploads of treasures. In front of us is the goblin city, which contains a lot of wealth. As long as we load them all
With the boat, our goal has been achieved.
What Azerite, what elves, what order, let them go to hell!"
…
At the same time, on the coastline at the other end of Kezan Island, Gallywix was leading a group of people, carrying several large boxes and arriving here under the vast darkness of night.
"Honey, are we really leaving Kezan?"
Laura, the daughter of the Bilgewater Cartel, asked in a panic. Although Gallywix was a bastard, he still loved his wife very much. This did not conflict with him killing his father-in-law.
After kissing Laura to calm her down, Gallywix spoke in a low voice.
"Baby, you have to leave here tonight. That guy from Hot Sand has gone crazy. Kezan is not safe. Only when it is confirmed to be safe here can I safely take you back."
"My dear, you won't leave?"
Hearing the subtext in Gallywix's words, Laura seemed even more frightened.
"Sorry, I have to stay here for a few more days, and I still have to deal with them in the end. Don't worry, if the situation goes wrong, I will leave here to find you as soon as possible."
"But I don't know where to go?"
Laura was crying now.
Gu Zu
"Be good, just follow them. They will take you to a safe place. That is a colony I have opened up. It will become our paradise in the future."
Gallywix pointed to the guards standing aside and said that this guy is quite capable and has indeed gathered a group of die-hard loyalists around him. If Li De was there, he might recognize them. Many of them were from the original workers' picket team.
Familiar faces there.
Laura's mood stabilized slightly, but Derek, who was standing aside waiting, became a little impatient.
"Hey! When you talked about it before, you only talked about family members and property, but you didn't include these thugs. Taking them away would be an extra price."
Helping Gallywix leave the country would definitely trouble Daelin's navy, and the only naval commander that both Li De and Daelin could trust was Derek, so he would handle this matter.
Gallywix gritted his teeth. At this point, he definitely couldn't say he couldn't leave. He had no choice but to angrily pull out two more packages from the box and slam them in front of Derek.
"Here it is! It's all for you! You greedy vampires!"
Derek weighed the magic bag in his hand and pretended to have a calm expression on his face, but in fact his heart was already shaking.
Those boxes of Gallywix didn't just contain gold coins, so how much money could they hold? He put a bunch of gold coins in magic packages, and then packed many magic packages into one box!
Derek didn't know exactly how many gold coins this guy packed in one package, but so many magic packages were an astonishing amount of wealth in themselves!
'There is definitely money in this from within the Bilgewater Cartel! This educated bastard!'
Derek couldn't help but think about how much money he would make if he was a gangster, but he just thought about this kind of thing. The situation was undecided at the moment. Gallywix was a very important figure in the calculations of all parties in Kezan.
As a bargaining chip, the Alliance must keep its word if it agrees to his conditions. At the same time, for Derek personally, this is also the most basic moral insistence for a hero.
"My dear, you must take care of yourself."
When Laura got on the boat, she still looked at Gallywix reluctantly.
Gallywix was still thinking of giving some instructions when he suddenly found that his wife's face was illuminated, and he could even clearly see his wife's eye makeup that was stained by tears.
The young trade king suddenly turned his head, and the originally dark night sky flashed with blazing light, followed closely by the rumbling sound of cannons!
The artillery fire from the city can actually reach this remote coast, which shows how big it must be!
"This is how the same thing?!"
Gallywix was so frightened that he panicked and yelled at Derek.
"Shut up! We don't know what's going on! At least you and your wife are safe!"
Derek yelled back with the same volume, which finally made Gallywix wake up a little. The frightened goblin couldn't help but feel proud when he looked at the artillery fire that was clearly visible here.
Thanks to his being one step ahead and arranging a retreat through negotiation, otherwise with this level of artillery fire, I really don't know how many people would have died tonight.
…
On Kezan Island, a large area of the city from the Port of Andai where the alliance has established its headquarters to the center of the city is being robbed by Farrewell's troops. Goblins can be seen everywhere in panic, with treasures in one hand and swords in the other slashing behind them.
sailor.
Some goblins rose up to resist and used explosives to blow up the bandit soldiers. However, these neighborhoods that dared to resist also suffered the most brutal shelling.
In the Vast Sea Protectorate, Kul Tiras's warships have been modified almost without reservation by the engineering academy and the military industry department. The latest Dragon's Sore cannon is so powerful that everyone even considered changing its name to "Dragon's Sorrow".
Such naval gunfire bombardment of urban areas is simply horrific.
…
"Marshal, that guy in Farreville is crazy! He allowed the soldiers to go ashore to rob, and even ordered the bombardment of the city!"
His son Derek was not here, and with him was Cyrus, who was also deeply trusted by him. After hearing his report, Dailin, who had just been awakened from his sleep, was in a trance and almost fainted.
"Marshal! Are you okay?!"
Cyrus hurriedly supported Dailin and couldn't help asking anxious questions.
Dai Lin bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself back to consciousness.
"Hurry up and attack Farrewell! His behavior must be stopped!"
The order issued in such an angry voice made Cyrus hesitate.
"Marshal, it's still our own army after all. Why don't we send someone to find out the reason first?"
Dai Lin stood up on tiptoes and grabbed Cyrus by the collar.
"I don't care what kind of madness Farrewell is! All I know is that if we don't stop him right away, we may all end up playing with him! If Azerite is detonated because of this tonight... you know what this means.
What are you wearing?!"
…
City center, hot sand palace, secret cell.
Streamwilder and Noggenfogg looked at each other and sighed.
"King Hotsand, you now understand that some wars are beyond your control, right? Do you listen to the sound of cannons?"
The sound of cannons could be heard here, Streamwild responded dejectedly.
"It's already this time, what's the point of talking about it?"
"I know not, but I really don't want to die with you. My daughter is so good, and I haven't watched her grow up yet."
"Hey, don't blame others. It's my fault that I gave you the freedom that you are not a prisoner of war, and you don't have the consciousness of being a prisoner of war. But you can just do small things in the city, why do you have to pry into the secrets of my palace.
"
Noggenfogg's face was full of misery when Hot Sand said it, and finally he laughed dryly.
"If I hadn't done that, you might have died here by yourself. Could it be that God couldn't bear to see you die alone and sent me specially to accompany you?"
"Do not make jokes!"
The prisoner Risa didn't like this joke, but soon he suddenly changed his expression.
"I actually have a way to help us escape, but it requires your help."
Noggenfogg shook his head subconsciously.
"Don't you want to work on the Black Dragon's antiques again?! Don't forget where that monster came from!"
"Ha, everything is like this, and things won't get worse. Do you dare to take a gamble? I believe that the trade king made the right choice!"
Rousha looked like he didn't care about anything, but now Noggenfogg finally felt a little moved.
